WHY IS COMCAST CHANGING TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES TO SPORTS PACKAGE IN OCTOBER?

Hey Xfinity!  Why are all the questions related to TCM being moved LOCKED?! Afraid of a revolt? You should be. I am definitely getting rid of Xfinity TV as soon as I can and replacing it with other less expensive alternatives that includes TCM. 

Channel 33 on my TV was working last week it is the Turner Classic Movie channel - when I try and watch it now it says i have made changes and to try watching another channel

It was moved to Sports & Entertainment package. No one is happy about it.

Well that make all the sense in the world.  I have always thought that it should be added to the sports line-up.  NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because we're not going to quit shouting about it and warning everyone against subscribing to Comcast and "Xfinity" until COMCAST DOES THE RIGHT THING FOR ONCE IN THEIR EXISTENCE. 

Stop scamming us and give us back TCM. 

why suddenly does TCM channel say I'm not authorized?

Very disappointed that TCM has been moved to a premium channel.  It needs to be moved back.  

I never pay attention to the notifications that Comcast sends along with their bills. I just dutifully pay them their $ 202. because the Internet access is good and I generally am happy with their TV service.

But I was just shaken by their recent idiiotic decision to cut TCM out of my regular channel lineup, in an attempt by them to squeeze yet more money from all of us who love watching movies from the entire history of cinema, commercial-free.

Join me in subtracting some amount of money from the monthly bill that we pay, in protest of their cheating. If TCM isn't restored I will have to look to streaming, etc. as an alternative to Comcast.

Until recently, we were Spectrum customers in another state.  When we moved, I told the customer service representative how happy I was that we were going to be Xfinity customers becasue Spectrum packages everything to death. How naive I was to think Xfinity would be customer oriented and stay away from segregating favorite channels

We pay over $200 every month so we can receive all the regular channels.  Hey Xfinity - that ain't peanuts!  And I consider TCM a regular channel that SHOULD be available when, again, I'm paying over $200 every month.  I am beyond disgusted!!!

Plus you took away Cinemax, AND you're taking away Starz channels????????  Unbelievable!!

Guess I need to be checking out DirectTV.

Just FYI:  You only have to keep *one* service in order to avoid the early termination fee if you have a contract.  I'm going to be looking at how to pay Xfinity the minimum from now till my contract is up (maybe switch to a cheapo TV plan or just keep internet), and  move my other servicesto other companies and just switch to streaming.

I'm at least as mad about all these locked posts.  What, do they think they can keep the subscriber uproar a secret?  This is all over the internet and even the press.

The media is all over this subject.

The number of cordcutters is on the rise....

Discontinuing TCM without notice is an outrage and the additional charge is unethical and dishonest. Everyone is talking about it in neighborhood associations , churches , clubs , civic asoociations , etc.
